BZRK by Michael Grant
I checked this book out from the library because I saw the sequel was available on Netgalley, and I love the Gone series by this author. The science geek in me really ended up enjoying this book. While really we get to know several of the characters throughout the book, we really have 2 central characters…. Read more »
Quarantine (Alone #3) by James Phelan
First of course I must thank both Netgalley and Kensington Books for allowing me to read an e-galley of this book. I enjoyed both of the other books in this series, I think maybe a trilogy? It did kind of leave at off at what could be an ending. You can read my review of… Read more »

The Always War by Margaret Peterson Haddix
I’ve been a fan of Margaret Peterson Haddix since I first read Among the Hidden, the first book in the Shadow Children series. I loved that whole series, and then got caught up in her stand alone novels, as well as her Missing series. I’d seen this book around, and it sounded interesting. I got… Read more »
Unfed (Undead #2) by Kirsty McKay
First I have to say thanks to Scholastic and Netgalley for allowing me to read an e-galley of this book. I got the first book in the series last summer when I went to BEA, so was very excited to see this become available on Netgalley. I wasn’t disappointed, I liked where the story went…. Read more »
